I know your themes rock and basically your service isn't overpriced either. It's been a while since we last talked and I hope you are doing great. :-) Hey Mike,

And 1,000 dollars is WAY too much to spend on a theme. I know this one place where you can get them for $375.00 :) LOL I would buy a theme if I didn’t know how to make them myself :) I think when you want to stand out, having a great theme that’s customized to your needs is essential.

Plus obviously this would not be for newbies, since there's an additional support option you can subscribe to. It may be cool, but in my experience the more complex it is the harder it eventually gets for you to actually use it. Maybe I'll try getting it in the next few days as an experiment.

I saw shifter yesterday while cruising the net and was impressed by the functionality of it all. Maybe I didn't see the real thing but I actually liked the fact that one can just shift things around without having to touch code. On the downside of it all it isn't beneficial to help us learn since we will just take the slack approach to coding I guess. :-) I did find the developers license steep too though.

Sorry but it think the guys who did Shifter are "shifting" in a world of their own. I don't see how the theme is any different from other themes. They should do a better job at selling it. $999.95 for a developer license? Sorry but it think the guys who did Shifter are “shifting” in a world of their own.

If you're in a business, sometimes you have to spend money to make money. If you can spend a little to make your site standout, that's money well spent. I've been using <a href="http://wordpress.shiftertheme.com" rel="nofollow">Shifter</a> for a while and feel like I have an advantage over my competitors. Joomla has been doing paid themes for years so this is nothing new. I agree with monika. If you’re in a business, sometimes you have to spend money to make money.

I see the value of branding and paying for a unique theme is essential to do this right. I we run a business, then we mustn't be afraid to invest into it and a unique design is part of a business. :-) I certainly would and have for my own main blog.

Would you offer it as a prize and add your link to the footer or should i add a link in my footer and just offer it for free download to get link’s? Or as this post implies would you sell it :) I’m in the business of Scuba Diving so do you have different opinions if I use this way for promotion than say if it was a make money online blog?
